One of the fiercest broads in the world graced Wilmington with her presence on June 13th for Wilmington’s pride weekend. RUPAUL!!! Supermodel of the world and host of the LOGO channel’s RuPaul’s Drag Race performed at the Hilton Riverside on June 13. She put on a great performance and she looked smokin’!
Seeing as how Jessie is a huge fan of RuPaul and drag queens in general, (I think it’s all the glitter), she volunteered to help out with the show and support it any way she could. The EOU crew was responsible for getting her green room together and having 4 models walk around in Jessie Williams originals to sell raffle tickets during the event. The models’ hair was done by Steven Ward and makeup was done by MAC. The hair and makeup looked AMAZING!! Jessie also made Ru 3 custom made outfits and a special pair of feather earrings that she even named after RuPaul herself. Jessie, never one to skip over details, ordered Ru some delicious key lime cupcakes (her favorite) from Coastal Cupcakes and flowers from Moxie Floral Design Studio for her green room.
During the chaos of getting everything ready for Ru, she walked in! As nice as could be, she thanked us for all of our hard work and especially for the cupcakes that she soon ran off with to her hotel room. She even made a comment saying she would be fine in her green room as long as she got to wear the beautiful outfits Jessie had made. We all had a blast that night and had a few cocktails in honor of Ru. And by few I mean many.
Boom kit kit kat kat owwwww! Ru we love you!
